Hello fellow Djangoers! I am completely new to Python, I have done a lot of research beforehand as I use to be more focused around the development of applications using Laravel. I am eager to get started and I have ran in to a small issue (I am hoping it’s a small issue at least!) with regards to the setup of the Django web application framework. I have successfully installed Python and the required dependencies through installing an OS called CloudLinux on to my VPS server which is a cPanel based VPS. I do try to hold back from reaching out in forums as I prefer to dive in and attempt to resolve challenges myself - but I’m at the point where I could do with a little assistance or guidance! I have referenced the following guide with installing Django on to my VPS - [https://www.a2hosting.co.uk/kb/developer-corner/python/installing-and-configuring-django-on-linux-shared-hosting](https://www.a2hosting.co.uk/kb/developer-corner/python/installing-and-configuring-django-on-linux-shared-hosting) I have completed all the steps including the installation, migration and super user initialisation. After the installation completed, I accessed the domain of my where my application has been configured through Python (on cPanel) and the “Index Of” page is displaying rather than the actual application itself. I have reattempted the installation a few times over, but I am getting the same result each and every time. Here is a rundown of my current folder structure: ├── db.sqlite3 ├── manage.py ├── myapp │ ├── **init**.py │ ├── **pycache** │ │ ├── **init**.cpython-37.pyc │ │ ├── settings.cpython-37.pyc │ │ └── urls.cpython-37.pyc │ ├── settings.py │ ├── urls.py │ └── wsgi.py ├── passenger\_wsgi.py ├── public ├── static\_files │ └── admin │ ├── css │ │ ├── autocomplete.css │ │ ├── base.css │ │ ├── changelists.css │ │ ├── dashboard.css │ │ ├── fonts.css │ │ ├── forms.css │ │ ├── login.css │ │ ├── responsive.css │ │ ├── responsive\_rtl.css │ │ ├── rtl.css │ │ ├── vendor │ │ │ └── select2 │ │ │ ├── LICENSE-SELECT2.md │ │ │ ├── select2.css │ │ │ └── select2.min.css │ │ └── widgets.css │ ├── fonts │ │ ├── LICENSE.txt │ │ ├── README.txt │ │ ├── Roboto-Bold-webfont.woff │ │ ├── Roboto-Light-webfont.woff │ │ └── Roboto-Regular-webfont.woff │ ├── img │ │ ├── calendar-icons.svg │ │ ├── gis │ │ │ ├── move\_vertex\_off.svg │ │ │ └── move\_vertex\_on.svg │ │ ├── icon-addlink.svg │ │ ├── icon-alert.svg │ │ ├── icon-calendar.svg │ │ ├── icon-changelink.svg │ │ ├── icon-clock.svg │ │ ├── icon-deletelink.svg │ │ ├── icon-no.svg │ │ ├── icon-unknown-alt.svg │ │ ├── icon-unknown.svg │ │ ├── icon-viewlink.svg │ │ ├── icon-yes.svg │ │ ├── inline-delete.svg │ │ ├── LICENSE │ │ ├── README.txt │ │ ├── search.svg │ │ ├── selector-icons.svg │ │ ├── sorting-icons.svg │ │ ├── tooltag-add.svg │ │ └── tooltag-arrowright.svg │ └── js │ ├── actions.js │ ├── actions.min.js │ ├── admin │ │ ├── DateTimeShortcuts.js │ │ └── RelatedObjectLookups.js │ ├── autocomplete.js │ ├── calendar.js │ ├── cancel.js │ ├── change\_form.js │ ├── collapse.js │ ├── collapse.min.js │ ├── core.js │ ├── inlines.js │ ├── inlines.min.js │ ├── jquery.init.js │ ├── popup\_response.js │ ├── prepopulate\_init.js │ ├── prepopulate.js │ ├── prepopulate.min.js │ ├── SelectBox.js │ ├── SelectFilter2.js │ ├── timeparse.js │ ├── urlify.js │ └── vendor │ ├── jquery │ │ ├── jquery.js │ │ ├── jquery.min.js │ │ └── LICENSE.txt │ ├── select2 │ │ ├── i18n │ │ │ ├── ar.js │ │ │ ├── az.js │ │ │ ├── bg.js │ │ │ ├── ca.js │ │ │ ├── cs.js │ │ │ ├── da.js │ │ │ ├── de.js │ │ │ ├── el.js │ │ │ ├── en.js │ │ │ ├── es.js │ │ │ ├── et.js │ │ │ ├── eu.js │ │ │ ├── fa.js │ │ │ ├── fi.js │ │ │ ├── fr.js │ │ │ ├── gl.js │ │ │ ├── he.js │ │ │ ├── hi.js │ │ │ ├── hr.js │ │ │ ├── hu.js │ │ │ ├── id.js │ │ │ ├── is.js │ │ │ ├── it.js │ │ │ ├── ja.js │ │ │ ├── km.js │ │ │ ├── ko.js │ │ │ ├── lt.js │ │ │ ├── lv.js │ │ │ ├── mk.js │ │ │ ├── ms.js │ │ │ ├── nb.js │ │ │ ├── nl.js │ │ │ ├── pl.js │ │ │ ├── pt-BR.js │ │ │ ├── pt.js │ │ │ ├── ro.js │ │ │ ├── ru.js │ │ │ ├── sk.js │ │ │ ├── sr-Cyrl.js │ │ │ ├── sr.js │ │ │ ├── sv.js │ │ │ ├── th.js │ │ │ ├── tr.js │ │ │ ├── uk.js │ │ │ ├── vi.js │ │ │ ├── zh-CN.js │ │ │ └── zh-TW.js │ │ ├── LICENSE.md │ │ ├── select2.full.js │ │ └── select2.full.min.js │ └── xregexp │ ├── LICENSE.txt │ ├── xregexp.js │ └── xregexp.min.js ├── static\_media ├── templates │ └── static\_pages │ └── index.html └── tmp └── restart.txt I was wondering if a Symbolic Link might be required in order to push web traffic through to a symlink public\_html directory or whether I’m just missing a simple configuration somewhere to get my application working. My Django application is based outside of my public\_html folder. Within my Python manager app on cPanel, I have configured the Python application to serve all traffic requests through to my primary domain from the “myapp” folder located outside of the public webspace environment. Thanks everyone, Jay. ---

What happens if: - You try `http://your-domain/admin/` ? - You try `http://your-domain/myapp/` ? What happens when you run passenger\_wsgi as described in step 14? Do any errors show up in the console? Does cPanel give you any access to any system logs that might describe an error?
